Soccer Training for Kids
Soccer was first played in England in the mid 1800’s. In 1863, the Football Association was established in England. It began as a sport for the upper class, but because of the low cost of equipment and ease of play, it quickly spread as a popular sport for everyone.
The game became very popular in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. The first soccer game was played at the 1900 Olympic games. Soccer is the most popular game in the world, although it is often called football overseas. Soccer has gained popularity in the United States over the last 20-30 years.
Now there are several million children that play on youth soccer leagues in the U.S. and Canada.
So gear up for soccer and get active!
